Beef Consomm? with Choux Puffs

20 to 30 black peppercorns

4 large egg whites, reserve the shells 1 lb plum tomatoes, quartered

1 5-6 ribs of celery, cut to fit in stock pot

? 1b lean ground beef

1 Tbs salt

6 Cups beef stock

Celery leaves, for garnish

Diced tomatoes, for garnish

Whisk egg whites until foamy, then add in egg shells, peppercorns, chopped tomatoes and celery. Stir in beef and salt.

Place beef stock in a stock pot or heavy saucepan. Whisk in the egg white/beef mixture. Heat to a simmer over medium high heat about 20 minutes. Stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent egg whites from sticking. Reduce heat and gently simmer without stirring for about 30 minutes. This will allow all the impurities to rise to the top. Underneath a clear broth will form.

Line a large sieve with two layers of paper towels and ladle the broth through into a large bowl. The broth should be completely clear, if it is not repeat this process a second time. Discard all the solids.

Bring the consomm? to a boil, when heated, ladle into bowls and top with choux puffs. Garnish with celery leaves and diced tomatoes.

? stick butter

1/8 tsp salt

? Cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 425?, place oven rack in middle of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Combine water, butter and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add all the flour at once. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring briskly with a wooden spoon until mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Add eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition until the mixture is smooth.

Place the dough in a piping bag with a number 12 tip. (A disposable piping bag with the end slightly snipped off works well if you do not have a piping bag and number 12 tip.) Pipe 1/3 inch diameter mounds about ? inch apart onto baking sheets. Gently flatten each mound with a water dampened fingertip. Bake one sheet at a time. About 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
